truly invigorating

i want to start off by saying that i have some news.

i never thought I would think of getting one myself. i looked around and everyone, everywhere has one, some people even have more than one. young and not so young. so why shouldn't i? i know, i'm old and maybe out of touch, but why shouldn't i? i haven't told many people, only a select few know. some people have one for many years without others knowing, and they get on with their lives just fine.

some see it on a regular basis, while others keep it a dark, deep secret. i will start off slowly. it didn't hurt as much as i thought it would, really. i know, you're probably thinking, what the hell are you doing? at your age? what will everyone think of you? maybe one day i will regret it, it's too late, i've come this far, i can't turn back. so, think bad of me, think good of me, think whatever you want of me, what's done is done, for good.

now, onto bigger and better things. today is settimo's birthday. i can't believe how old he and we are all getting. oh well, it's all good for now. ya gotta live life to the fullest and somehow we do, everyday. gotta go and bake a cake for the birthday boy.
